Conclusions and Future Developments
● Mod-Spec UV-VIS is built on modular parts:
– Can be easily modified to insert flow cells (for use as HPLC detectors),
or high pressure cell.
– Supports a large selection of CCD arrays from Hamamastu, Sony and
Toshiba.
● ChemAnalysis Workbench is built on a java based eclipse
platform:
– Modular and extensible with plugins
– Further work include support for HPLC pumps, fluorescence, CE and
potentiostat perspectives .
● ACH methods is an open source, crowdsourced alternative
to proprietary products like CAS/Scifinder's MethodNow:
– Includes methods and related experimental data for wide type of
chemicals such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals etc.
